This is the first episode where actress Elinor Donahue is obviously pregnant. Attempts were made hide the fact by putting her in a bulky coat, having her stand behind a tall counter, and walk into a room holding something in front of her. The actress married her first husband in 1955 almost 2 years earlier.
Ernest Truex and Sylvia Field, both playing Margaret's parents, were married to each other in real life. Sylvia became Ernest's third wife in 1941, and the marriage lasted until Ernest's death in 1983.
Sylvia Field plays the role of the mother of Margaret Anderson, played by Jane Wyatt. In real life, Sylvia Field was only 9 years older than Jane Wyatt.
